Netflix's live-action One Piece may have defied the odds and cultivated brand-new appeal for its anime franchise, but it faces significant challenges.

While Stranger Things narrowly avoided it, One Piece may face an aging problem soon.

As Netflix's One Piece is set to release season 2 on March 10, 2026 , the adventures of a 17-year-old Monkey D. Luffy will bring the Straw Hat pirates to the Grand Line. However, even if they can conceivably retain a teenage exuberance into subsequent seasons, the question then arises: how long will Netflix keep One Piece afloat before cancellation?
